The Record

Got a car that might not pass smog? You may be eligible for hundreds of dollars in free repairs at an event on Saturday.

The latest Tune In & Tune Up event is scheduled for 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday at the San Joaquin County Fairgrounds, though drivers are advised to arrive early and be ready for at least a two-hour wait. Gates open at 6:30 a.m.

Vouchers for $500 in repairs will be given to the drivers of the first 525 cars that fail Saturday’s unofficial smog test.

The event is not a substitute for a real smog test. No smog certificates will be awarded.
